Hope this is the right section. I'm on Virgin £30/month for the internet and I had a letter to say it's increasing to £33/month. That's only on the 'medium' tariff too. Sure I turned a blind eye to the odd 50p increases, but a 10% increase is too high for me to ignore. Note that I don't have a landline, so my options are Virgin fixed line or 4G. I know in principle I could always haggle with Virgin, but I'm not very good on the phone for that as I don't like confrontations.
My phone is a Samsung Note 4 which is on contract until July 2017. Unlimited calls/texts and 5GB data per month. £37/month. This is on EE via the Carphone Warehouse.
What are my options? My browsing habits require about 50GB/month tops.
1. A data bolt-on onto the existing phone contract? Would the bolt-on run for as long as the phone's contract, or is it month by month? Note that EE are tethering-friendly.
2. Do I approach the EE shop or the Carphone Warehouse who issued my phone?
3. Any recommendations outside of EE / Carephone Warehouse?
I'm currently paying £33 (Virgin) + £37 (EE), so £60 all-in, so the aim of this thread is to amount to a combined phone/internet bill that is less than £60.
Cheers!
